The meeting of thirty-one days at Kenllworfh Park came to a close with the running of todays program. The features of the card were the Genesee Stakes, for two-year-olds, the Tonawanda Handicap, at one mile for three-year-olds and over, and a steeplechase over the two-mile course. The contests were interesting and a majority of the finishes were close enough to be exciting. Tee Tick, under the judicious riding of Musgravc, won the Genesee Stakes. When the leaders swung wide when entering the homestretch Musgravc sl-ot Tee Tick up next to the inside rail and at the furlong post was on equal terms with the leaders. When it came to a drive Tee Tick, displaying rare ganicness, drew away and won by a length. There was a high wind blowing up the homestretch and tills accounted for the rather slow time, the five furlongs being run in 1:02J. The history of the Genesee Stakes is tabled below: Year. Winner.
